The Arista DCS-7280CR2K-30-F is a switch from the Arista 7280CR2K family with 30 ports of 100GbE QSFP28, front-to-back airflow and AC power. It is a Layer 3 managed platform that runs Arista EOS, with a 1U rack-mount form factor. This unit is used: inspected, powered on and functionally tested by Townsend Networks technicians before listing. One switch per order, with a rack-mount kit and the power cable(s) to match.

HOW IT DIFFERS: DCS-7280CR2K-30-F is the 7280R2K version of the 30-port 100G switch: Arista's ordering table describes it with AlgoMatch-2 and expansion memory, front to rear air and 2 AC supplies, and rates the 7280R2K at 2M IPv4 unicast LPM routes and 1.4M IPv6, against 1.3M and 1M for the 7280R2A. Both 30-port models have 30 QSFP100 ports, 6Tbps of wire speed performance and 12GB of buffer. The table lists no rear-to-front code for either. Its sister DCS-7280CR2A-30-F is the AlgoMatch version with the smaller tables.
